What is all the chaos about?

Don’t get me wrong.  I loved a lot of his songs, like Thriller and Beat It.  My older sister always had his tape or CD on in the car.  I don’t doubt that he was a great artist, and that his legacy as such will be forever engrained in music history. 

What I don’t get is the chaos surrounding his death.  Wasn’t this the same man we watched dangle his child from a balcony?  Wasn’t he the butt of so many jokes for many years? 


I understand that when people die, we tend to forget everything horrible they ever did, but seriously.  This is ridiculous.  How far are we going to let this go before we finally remember that the man wasn’t perfect.

This is just my opinion.  Mourn the death of a great singer, but don’t forget he was just a man.
